According to my now useless Maple Leaf Countdown page, there's only 8 days, 10 hours, 55 minutes, and 48 seconds left until the Maple Leafs opener. That page is lying to me. I won't be sitting down to watch an NHL game two Saturdays from now and that's just wrong.
Fox Home Entertainment has announced the fifth season of The Simpsons will hit store shelves on December 21. If you don't mind pre-holiday shopping madness, that's just in time for Christmas. Season five falls into the heart of The Simpsons' prime when every episode was an absolute gem. It will

Although I ran walked in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure last Sunday, I've actually secured more than twice as much money online since. Donations via the link on this website now total $171. When I ran walked on Sunday, donations were stalled at $70. Interesting.
Howard Stern is moving to satellite radio. He's inked a five-year deal with Sirius Satellite Radio beginning January 2006. On the one hand, I think it would be wonderful to hear Howard Stern's show uncensored. Satellite will free Stern from the shackles of the FCC. Having said that, this will
Rodney Dangerfield was 82. He was the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect". I always found Rodney funny. "Back to School" still cracks me up. In 1996 he guest starred on The Simpsons playing Mr. Burns' long lost son Larry Burns
I can't believe in 2004 a simple utterance of the S word can still cause such a kerfuffle. NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. was docked 25 points and fined $10,000 USD by NASCAR on Tuesday because he cursed during an interview on NBC. Asked about the significance of his
Remember back in March when CFNY Edge 102 announced the lineup for Edgefest 2004? I wrote this entry lambasting them for selling Good Charlotte as the headliner, especially considering the fact they won't even play Good Charlotte on their station. It was all so hypocritical, I wrote CFNY Edge 102
Thirteen: 6.5 out of 10. This flick, about a sweet thirteen year old girl who turns bad, had a Kids-lite feel to it. It was a fine little movie, but I'm not sure it was wise to watch it with my two month old daughter beside me. Michelle is
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. Why the hell do you have a list of mp3's on your site? instead of the GOD DAMN MP3? No one gives a flying f*ck about what you are listening
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Pearl Jam - OceansOutkast - Rosa ParksPorno For Pyros - Tahitian MoonBush - Dead MeatThe Living End - Killing The RightFilter - Where Do
Rumours have been circulating that The Simpsons could be coming to an end after sixteen seasons. Matt Groening, however, says otherwise. Speaking with BBC Radio 1, Groening stated the following. At this point I don't think there's any end in sight. I once said a few years ago that I
Janet Leigh was 77. She was an actress best known as the knife attack victim in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho".
The Toronto Blue Jays played their final game of the 2004 season yesterday, losing 3-2 to the New York Yankees. Good riddance to bad garbage. The 2004 season was the season from hell for my Blue Jays. I've been following this team closely since 1983 and no other season comes
I've posted a video from today's Run for the Cure in Videos.
John Cerutti was 44. He was a former pitcher for my Toronto Blue Jays and a current Blue Jays television announcer. A left-hander from Albany, Cerutti joined the Blue Jays in 1985 and spent six seasons with the club. He was to work today's season finale against the Yankees but
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. Three are from today's Run for the Cure in downtown Toronto.
I have completed today's Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. It was a beautiful sunny day as I ran walked the route with my son and my mom. Mother nature couldn't have been more cooperative. We joined 30,000 strong in this annual effort to raise money
"Run, Forrest! Run!" - Jenny Curran, Forrest Gump
The Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki registered three singles to equal, break and then add to the Major League hits record with his 259th of the season in a game against the Texas Rangers Friday. The Japanese outfielder matched George Sisler's 84-year-old mark of 257 hits with a first-inning single before
Our federal government will make good on a pledge to bring in a national child-care program worth $5 billion over five years, Prime Minister Paul Martin said yesterday. This is a great plan and long overdue. Of course, by the time this program hits Toronto, Michelle will be too old
This morning, James and I were at Tim Hortons where I was explaining currency and how money can be exchanged for goods and services. Following my brief lecture, I asked James where money comes from. Without hesitation, he exclaimed "Pockets!"
"What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts."
I was just checking out Google Local Canada and it's pretty cool. It's essentially your yellow pages on steriods, permitting you to search for any type of business in any locality. For example, here's a search on used book stores in Toronto. In addition to the phone number and address
Does anyone really care who Puff Daddy thinks won last night's debate between Dubya and John Kerry? I was just flipping the stations and Entertainment Tonight seemed awfully interested in P. Diddy's take on the matter. I watched all ninety minutes last night and I don't think there's any doubt
